Landing Page Variants & Reticle Expansion

Four landing page test variants built for A/B testing, plus 20+ new Reticle design system components. Each variant explores a distinct visual direction while sharing the same copy foundation. Source: dedalus-monorepo apps/website (test1-test4 variants, Reticle components)

Landing Page Copy

Core messaging anchored on: "Full Linux in 50 milliseconds."

Hero

Full Linux in 50 milliseconds The fastest persistent sandboxes for agents. Sleep for free, wake instantly, never lose state.

Feature Frames (5 rows)

  1. Speed - 50ms snapshot restore, 260x faster than pulling an image
  2. Full Linux - create → exec → sleep (the entire API), install anything, root access + GPU + Docker
  3. Self-healing - live VM migration (only Dedalus does this), zero downtime during host maintenance
  4. Persistence - $0 compute while sleeping, filesystem persists across sleep, pay only for active usage
  5. Pricing - starts at $20/mo, per-second billing, $0 when sleeping

Security Positioning

Nested isolation model: Hardware (100%) → Kernel (78%) → microVM (56%) → Agent (36%). Comparison table: microVM vs Docker vs V8 across kernel isolation, memory boundary, filesystem isolation, root access, untrusted code safety.

Pricing Calculator

Default config: 4 vCPU, 8GB memory, 50GB storage, 200 active hrs, 544 idle hrs. Dedalus rates vs ephemeral sandbox rates - key differentiator is $0.00/hr idle vs $0.04/hr.

Four Test Variants

Variant Codename Visual Direction
test1 Terminal Terminal/CLI-forward aesthetic
test2 Blueprint Technical blueprint/schematic look
test3 Cabinet Cabinet/card-based layout
test4 Bento Grid Bento grid composition

Each variant is ~40 component files exploring different visual treatments of the same underlying copy and feature set. PostHog A/B test flags control which variant is shown.

Reticle Design System Expansion

20+ new components added to the Reticle design system:

Component Purpose
ReticleBackground Grid-line background pattern
ReticleCard Card with structural-visibility styling
ReticleGrid Responsive grid layout
ReticleNavbar Navigation with Reticle aesthetic
ReticleHero Hero section with grid lines
ReticleFeatureFrame Feature section frame
ReticleTerminal Terminal/code display
ReticlePricing Pricing cards
ReticleCTA Call-to-action sections

The Reticle system applies the structural-visibility aesthetic (grid lines, margin rails, cross marks) documented in Reticle Design System to full-page compositions, not just individual components.

Branding Updates

  • Purple wing logos (new primary)
  • Yellow backup logos
  • New favicons deployed across all apps (website, admin, docs)

Timeline

  • 2026-07-01 | Design category refresh added this page to the Layout and product surfaces family, linked it to Design System Map, and kept it standalone because Landing Page Variants & Reticle Expansion owns a distinct design decision surface in this family. Source: User request, 2026-07-01
